Transport Canada has published their 4th Report to Canadians — a summary of the work accomplished to date through Canada’s Oceans Protection Plan. The Report provides results across more than 50 initiatives and hundreds of projects from coast-to-coast-to-coast. Highlights from the report include the creation of marine training programs; making CCG Regional Operations Centres operational 24/7 and installing new marine weather forecasting and radar coverage; preserving and restoring 64 marine ecosystems; co-developing enhanced maritime situational awareness systems with Indigenous communities; and funding over 300 projects to remove and dispose of abandoned or wrecked boats.
